How Do You Curb a Shopping Addiction?
Question by jessa.cline: How do you curb a shopping addiction?
I have a shopping addiction. I shop when I’m mad, sad, happy, whatever. I often buy things I don’t need, and never wear them. A year later they are still in my closet with the tags still on them. I get a rush when I shop and it makes me happy- but when I get home I feel guilty about the money wasted and wish I hadn’t done it.

Is There Any Way to Detect What a Homeless Person/bum Is Actually Begging For?
Question by Christopher: Is there any way to detect what a homeless person/bum is actually begging for?
Are there any tall tale signs that give away a bum with a drug addiction v (for example) a war veteran with mental problems? I live in a very populated area with many homeless people begging (on my way to class). I feel bad and usually try to help them out but I don’t want to support something I don’t agree with. Thanks.
